摘要
白细胞介素12(IL-12)是由巨噬细胞等抗原提呈细胞产生的细胞因子。IL-12对T细胞、自然杀伤细胞具有免疫调节作用,促进Th1介导的细胞免疫反应。研究证实,IL-12对小鼠的肿瘤和各种感染性疾病等有治疗作用。国内外学者采用不同的治疗途径及不同的联合方案进行了大量的尝试。本文对目前IL-12的生物学功能及药理学作用作一综述。
Interleukin-12 （IL-12） is produced by antigen presenting cells, for instance, macrophage cells. IL-12 is a cytokine that exerts immunoregulatory effects on T cells and NK cells, playing a unique role in promoting type 1 T helper cell responses and, thereby, cell-mediated immunity. IL-12 has been shown to exert striking therapeutic effects in mouse tumor models and in mouse models of a variety of infectious diseases. Many different treatment means and combinations of IL-12 with certain other cytokines or with radiotherapy or chemotherapy have been attempted. Now, we give a review of biological function and pharmacologic effects of IL-12.
